00:55:00 He's different.
00:55:02 I don't know, Len.

00:56:43 - Here we are.
00:56:47 - Oh, God.
00:56:50 You got it, baby.
00:57:08 Riding along in my automobile
00:57:12 I was anxious to tell
00:57:15 So I told her softly and sincere
00:57:18 Chuck was playing in
00:57:23 But there was just a thin rope
00:57:29 And a whole lot of history.
00:57:41 And that's all it took
00:57:44 one man duck-walking across stage.
00:57:47 Shit.
00:57:50 Please keep the aisles clear.
00:57:54 Get back over here.
00:57:55 Keep the aisles clear.
00:58:15 Why don't you play like that, Daddy?
00:58:17 - Ain't nothing but the blues sped up.
00:58:22 Look at that car!
00:58:27 Len Chess got two hot cars.

00:58:35 - There's the man. Been a long time.
00:58:38 - Hey, is this the boy?
00:58:41 That's your car outside?
00:58:42 The cherry-red one out there?
00:58:44 It's the most beautiful
00:58:46 Ain't it? Good taste.
00:58:49 - Sit down, Charles. Have a seat.
00:58:52 Charles, Charlie, Chuck.
00:58:55 Mortgage payment
00:58:59 And I ain't booking the clubs enough.

00:59:45 You, too, baby.
00:59:47 Hey, Dad, you got to see this.
01:00:02 They were locking up fine black
01:00:07 stringing up our little bitty boys
01:00:12 Not paying any mind
01:00:16 who was reaping up their firstborn
01:00:29 $3,000 in his pocket
01:00:35 But he'd do that before he'd give
01:00:39 Chuck'd rather
01:00:41 than to give his money
01:00:51 The man saved $100,000
01:00:55 Now, he didn't drink,
01:00:58 He only had one particular vice.
01:01:01 - Good evening, ladies.

01:01:30 Len was on a girl-hunt, too.
01:01:33 Here she is.
01:01:34 Glad you could make it.
01:01:36 I can get you a drink...
01:01:41 What, you want me to just do it
01:01:45 Well, I am leaving town tomorrow.

01:02:41 On her finger
01:02:44 He placed the ring
01:02:47 He was looking for a woman that could

01:07:44 But when I do,
01:07:49 where everybody wants my picture
01:07:52 - That's the dream, huh?
01:07:55 It's not a dream.
01:07:57 You're gonna cross over.
01:07:58 - You think?
01:08:01 You gonna promise me
01:08:05 Promise.
01:08:07 The one that's gonna serve the white man
01:08:14 Hey, come on.
01:08:16 You sing the blues.
01:08:20 What the fuck do you know, white boy?
01:08:28 Yeah, you play that hard act real good.
01:08:34 But I see you.
01:08:40 I see you.
01:08:56 Old Len thought his checkbook
01:08:59 so he bought out the

01:09:04 I can't help you, kid.
01:09:07 Gin. Can I have a bottle of gin?
01:09:11 I need a bottle of gin.
01:09:13 Gin, please. Can I have a bottle of gin?
01:09:17 Gin! Can I get a fucking bottle of gin?
01:09:22 - Come on. Bottle of gin.
01:09:24 I guess I got to be him to get some gin?
01:09:36 - What'd he say to you?
01:09:39 He didn't even ask if
01:09:42 That's his problem.
01:09:44 Here you go, sir.
01:09:46 You wouldn't even begin to know
01:09:50 Let me.
01:09:58 My mother was a whore.
01:10:04 And that fat motherfucker just looked me
01:10:10 He didn't see his little girl.
01:10:14 He saw the cum stains
01:10:20 These chanda-fucking-liers and these
01:10:23 I ain't gonna ever be
01:10:26 You know they're gonna break this
01:10:28 Fuck it! I'll do it for you!
01:10:30 Come on, honey. Listen to me.
01:10:34 You can't let that in.
01:10:37 You know, Muddy,
01:10:40 he sings that hurt. He don't live it.
01:10:44 He don't nurse it.
01:10:46 Walter, he carries it around like a baby.
01:10:50 Feeds it on whiskey and smack.
01:10:54 You got to let it go.
01:11:03 I can't.
01:11:26 Oh, no.
01:11:28 No, I'm not having it.
01:11:35 That's my song.
01:11:37 - No, darling.
01:11:41 That's my song.
01:11:43 No, darling. That's the Beach Boys.
01:11:48 That is Sweet Sixteen,
01:11:52 Note for note. Not one change.
01:11:54 Aside, apart from the lyrics,
01:11:58 The new craze sweeping the nation
01:12:03 I've provided them the soundtrack,
01:12:06 - You ready?
01:12:08 I'm very ready to make more songs
01:12:13 and all other manner of white folks
01:12:17 - You say the devil's name, he appears.
01:12:19 Yeah, we do need to talk. You heard this?
01:12:23 - Do you know what's going on?
01:12:26 First, Alan Freed gets
01:12:30 Chuck, listen.
01:12:31 No. You listen to me.
01:12:35 - One part?
01:12:37 This gives him the license...
01:12:38 Did you take an underage white girl
01:12:40 I'm not talking about girls.
01:12:45 - Don't say shit. Don't say anything.
01:12:48 Mr. Berry, you are under arrest
01:12:51 across state lines
01:12:55 First of all, I didn't transport anyone
01:13:00 Gentlemen, I'll have you know that
01:13:04 - has a 13-year-old wife.
01:13:06 Are we stopping by his home on the way?
01:13:09 for whistling at a white woman.
01:13:12 Fix this, Leonard.
01:13:22 You guys got to be kidding me, man.
01:13:26 You set that hair in the morning?
01:13:28 You ladies shouldn't be out here
01:13:31 A bunch of English boys started
01:13:35 Now, it was made in America,
01:13:37 but I guess nobody thought
01:13:40 Hey, let me help you with that, fellow.
01:13:43 Fucking hell. It's him!
01:13:47 Mr. Waters.
01:13:50 We're big fans.
01:13:51 You're the reason we got together.
01:13:53 We named our band
01:13:56 - Yeah?
01:14:00 All right.
01:14:02 Go on in there. Fuck them police.
01:14:04 Everybody knows the Rolling Stones,
01:14:08 Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton.
01:14:15 Skinny motherfuckers.
01:14:18 The Rolling Stones
01:14:21 with an old Muddy Waters standard.
01:14:27 Take 10% of Chuck's royalties
01:14:32 Chuck ain't gonna miss it.
01:14:38 The goose that laid the golden egg
01:14:43 So Len brought in the old standbys,
01:14:47 Chess was desperate for a hit.
01:14:50 Oh, hey, little girl, now.
01:14:54 - You mind if I watch?
01:14:56 - I grew up on y'all's music.
01:14:59 Come over here.
01:15:01 I'll teach you to blow, baby.
01:15:04 Better watch it, baby girl.
01:15:07 Muddy, you're a fool.
01:15:10 I wouldn't mind a little bit of
01:15:14 You too pretty to be flying my way, now.
01:15:18 You don't need that amp.
01:15:21 - How they gonna hear me?
01:15:25 You want to survive, do
01:15:28 Something different? What the fuck?
01:15:30 What?
01:15:33 Mud, what you think about this?
01:15:36 What you think about this, Mud?
01:15:40 I think we need to lay this record.
01:15:49 What, I'm just a sideman now?
01:15:56 Okay, I'll do it, Len. I'll do it.
01:15:59 I'm broke as the rest of you
01:16:04 I'm gonna need a bottle of gin, though.
01:16:07 I'm gonna need a bottle of gin, baby.
01:16:09 Because I like a taste
01:16:13 Somebody taking care of Walter?
01:16:16 That's right. Take care of me, baby.
01:16:46 At last
01:16:53 My love has come along
01:17:01 My lonely days are over
01:17:09 And life is like a song
01:17:16 Oh, yeah
01:17:20 At last
01:17:25 The skies above are blue
01:17:34 My heart was wrapped up in clover
01:17:42 The night I looked at you
01:17:52 I found a dream
01:17:57 That I could speak to
01:18:01 A dream that I
01:18:05 Can call my own
01:18:09 I found a thrill
01:18:13 To press my cheek to
01:18:18 A thrill that I
01:18:21 Have never known
01:18:24 Oh, yeah
01:18:26 When you smiled
01:18:29 You smiled
01:18:32 Oh, and then the spell was cast
01:18:41 And here we are in heaven
01:18:49 For you are mine
01:18:55 At last
01:19:00 - Thanks, baby.
01:19:03 - Happy anniversary, Revetta.
01:19:06 - Where you taking her, Peppers?

01:41:42 How am I supposed to know
01:41:44 This is your captain speaking.
01:41:45 We are now beginning our descent
01:41:48 Here we go.
01:41:57 Welcome to London.
01:42:02 - You all right?
01:42:14 - A pleasure to see you, Mr. Waters.
01:42:24 They want you, Mr. Waters. They want you.
01:42:28 We sued Chess Records
01:42:31 And we did all right.
01:42:33 Well, especially me.
01:42:35 Because I wrote all those songs
01:42:40 I got paid.
01:42:42 And I'm still getting paid.
01:42:44 I made enough money
01:42:47 They were going to tear it down,
01:42:50 I'm a man
01:42:55 We made the kind of music
01:42:58 rhythm and blues,
01:43:02 Whatever you're playing, baby,
01:43:07 Just sprinkle a little blues on it
01:43:13 We the hoochie coochie seed.
